The administration of the Sri Jagannath temple in Puri Monday launched two websites through which the famous Rath Yatra (chariot festival) can be viewed live across the world.
Designed by the National Informatics Centre (NIC), www.jagannath.nic.in and www.rathyatra.nic.in, the websites also contain information about the 12th century shrine, lord Jagannath, lord Balabhadra and goddess Subhadra.
"Our motto is to promote the cult of lord Jagannath in a big way in the international arena to spread the lord's message across the globe and serve the followers of the faith better," Suresh Mohapatra, chief administrator of the Jagannath temple, told IANS.
Devotees can use their credit cards to donate money to the temple round the year through www.jagannath.nic.in.
According to R. N. Behera, the chief architect of the websites, the services of many international banking institutions have been roped in for the project.
